Would you like to join one of Britain’s largest social enterprises, working to create social impact in the housing and property sectors?
Dot Dot Dot is a social enterprise focused on improving lives in a housing crisis by turning properties that would otherwise sit empty, into inexpensive housing. And, because we’re all about making a social impact, the people we house – our guardians – make a commitment to volunteer for good causes each month. Since 2011, we have housed over 1,900 people across the country and supported them to give tens of thousands of hours of voluntary help to a diverse range of charitable causes.
We use the property guardian model to achieve social impact, but we are also disrupting the property guardian industry, working to push up standards across the board.
We are recruiting for a Business Development Manager who shares our excitement about the work we do. You will lead on winning and developing contracts with new clients and support our existing clients. Working with our head of marketing and business development, you’ll help to generate revenue, improve profitability, and enhance the reputation of Dot Dot Dot through relationship building and high quality work.
Our ideal candidate will be someone who loves to talk about our mission, our unique business model and enthusiastically represents our brand.
We are interested in hearing from candidates with:
- A proven track record of successful and proactive lead generation
- The ability to communicate in a clear and coherent way, building relationships and tailoring messaging to the audience
- Experience of sales, strong account management skills, and an understanding of effective marketing techniques
- Strong numeracy and financial skills used to inform business decisions
- Outstanding customer service skills – both proactive and reactive, trustworthy and reliable
- The ability to self-motivate and manage your own time, as well as the ability to work effectively and collaboratively in a small team.
Why should you join us?
We work in an exciting and collaborative environment, where at any one time there are multiple live projects and growth streams to get stuck into. You’ll join at a time when we are developing our brand and launching a new website. There is also scope within the role for you to grow the business development team.
As well as the opportunity to see your work making a tangible difference, in this role you will benefit from a friendly company environment, a competitive salary and terms of employment which aim to support a good work-life balance.
As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusiveness and diversity, we actively and warmly encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds. We believe that people from different backgrounds bring perspectives and skills that create fresh ideas, thinking and approaches, making the way work is undertaken more effective and efficient. We know that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We are committed to continuous improvement in this space.
Location:
